Yes, A whole boatload of them. My family has been into books forever. Complete works of Dickens, Shakespeare, Chaucer, jeez, name one, I probably can find it somewhere in the mess we call our library.

Yep. I sure do. I've read them all, the ones that I have that is.

I bought The Oddysey by Homer but I haven't read it yet. I don't like to keep hold of books when I have read them, I normally hand them over to someone else to read.
-
Yep and I am proud of them and enjoy rereading them.
-
yes - do you want me to name the authors alphabetically? or by literary era (as I have them arranged on my bookshelves)? I have books from Homer to Sartre, or from Austen to Zola. I have books in a range of languages, and I have read every one that on the shelves.

I live in a Fifth Wheel ( RV) and have no room to own books but a few I would never part with. The solution is e-books. I download those into my documents and read it from the computer. I will look into my favorites and post the link in a comment, just in case someone is interested. They have all classics.

I have 3. The Odyssey, The Swiss Family Robinson, and The Jungle Book. But then, most of the books I have, I consider 'classic.' I read, re-read, and re-re-read over and over.

I own and have read Don Quixote. I got halfway into Dante's Inferno but found that I had picked up a student type copy that seemed to be meant for idiots because they had a 'translation' of what I had just read for every page. The language wasn't so difficult that this was necessary but it got tedious to try and sift through. And I've read The Aenead. I'm not religious but I'm slowly working my way through the Bible and I want to read the Quran when I finish that. I have read the I Ching.
-
All of Twain, all of Austen, all of Hugo, most of Rand, the Greek epics, all of Shakespeare, some Spenser, Cervantes. I don't know how you are defining classics, but also all of Rowling, Uris, Henry James, PD James, Joyce and Christie.

Yes! I am an Avid reader...I have several by Rudyard Kipling, Wuthering heights, Dickens and one Bronte.
-
Yes, one - "The Portrait of Dorian Grey"
-
Oh, yes. Lots of them. And yes, I've read them. Every so often, it's nice to go back and re-read one of them too. A present. :) And now, have started to download digital versions of some of the classics. Why? To encourage some of my younger relatives to read some of them!
-
Yes quite a few. But they are not the type I like to read over and over.
-
I own several War and peace Moby Dick to name a few.
